Doctor Who on ABC Extra

The 50th anniversary of Doctor Who approaches and a blockbuster TV special is simply not enough.

So the Whovians of ABC Radio are creating a dedicated pop-up station, with nothing but Doctor Who 24 hours a day.

It will kick off straight after The Day of the Doctor with talkback to find out what the wider Whovian community thought of the TV special.

This will be followed by interviews, profiles, panel discussions plus Doctor Who inspired comedy and music. There will be contributions from fourteen year-old Benjamin Maio Mackay, of the Preachrs podcast; 'The Women of Doctor Who', a panel discussion featuring Tansy Rayner Roberts; and two academics from Bond University will explore the cultural impact of Doctor Who.

Doctor Who on ABC Extra is brought to you by Joel Rheinberger and Andrew Hogan, of Nerdzilla, with help from the ABC wide network of Doctor Who fans including Spencer Howson, Robbie Buck, Rod Quinn, Cassie McCullagh, Nicole Dyer, Damien Larkins and Paul McIntyre.
